Liverpool's Yossi Benayoun had a narrow escape yesterday when the southern Israeli town of Dimona was the target of a suicide attack. The 27-year-old was visiting his parents there when the bombers struck and he heard the explosions and gunfire which killed one Israeli woman and the two Palestinian bombers.

Benayoun's parents live about five minutes' walk from the site of the attack and the midfielder, who is in Israel for a friendly against Romania tomorrow, immediately made calls to confirm that none of his relatives and friends were hurt and was flooded with calls from people concerned about his wellbeing.

 

Yossi came to visit his parents who live nearby," said his agent, Ronen Katsav. "It is a small place and he heard the explosion and the gunshots. He was inundated by phone calls from friends asking him if he was all right after the event. He is fine and will take part in the international game."

Benayoun, who was born and raised in Dimona and started his career with the region's main team, Hapoel Beersheva, later travelled to Tel Aviv for training ahead of the match against Romania. He refused to discuss the matter with local media but said he was OK and that he would discuss the incident today when, as Israel's captain, he is due to attend a press conference.

my slightly ********* mate thinks he looks like a suicide bomber, i tried to explain to him that he is an isralie and not likely to be a suicide bomber, he doesn't understand.

I'm pretty confident that Yossi has never suicide bombed anything.

Bit of a shocker.

 

Isn't this kind of thing a 'bit of a shocker' regardless of whether or not one of our players happened to be (not very) close by?

Excellent perception.
